Well I have pinched myself a hundred times and nothing has changed so I must not be dreaming. Today we’re moving into Papa Charlies house. It’s a beautiful 4 bedroom brick home, not just a house. Each room is decorated beautifully and we are going to leave it just as Papa Charlie had it. The children are so excited that they will each have their own bedroom.
We have a chance at a new life now. We struggled so hard for so long that I’m not sure how to act right now. I keep thinking I’m going to wake up and it’s all going to just be a dream or someone is going to come in and say ‘There’s been a mistake, get out.’ I guess it will take me awhile to settle in and believe it’s all real.
I have paid off everything I owed with my monthly allowance because everything was paid up in full until the middle of next month and I’ll get my allowance the beginning of each month. Plus I still have my job and will keep it until I decide what I want to go to college for and start classes. Just because we have been given this wonderful gift, I’m not going to relax and blow it, that’s for sure. That would be almost like spitting in Charlies face and I’m not about to do that.
